LinkedIn account for each member

Procedure:

This activity is best done whenever a project draws to an end. Creating a recommendation and posting it on each other's LinkedIn profile is a great way to express appreciation for each member of the team.

Provide a designated time for everyone to do this.

Begin the activity by announcing to the team "We are going to start our meeting by taking a break, but this is a break with a purpose. The purpose is for you to take some time to write a recommendation for one or more of your teammates and post it to their LinkedIn profile."

Remind each team member that the recommendations should be short, specific and sincere.

If your team works together on a continual basis, do this activity whenever a project reaches certain milestones.
